<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>The public is invited to help define the activities of
the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (WBNERR) for the next five
years. The Reserve is currently updating its management plan and is seeking
community input. The public is invited to express their opinions at a meeting
on December 8 at </span></font>7:00 p.m. at the Reserve headquarters on Route
28 in Waquoit.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>The Waquoit Bay Reserve, located in </span></font>Falmouth
and Mashpee, supports scientific study of coastal ecosystems, conducts
educational programs for children and adults, models environmental stewardship,
and provides recreational opportunities for hiking, swimming, paddling, and
camping.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-indent:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>The management plan will prioritize and guide the
activities of WBNERR staff and volunteers over the next five years. The goal
of the current revision process is to assess the value of existing programs and
to develop a strategy to more effectively promote stewardship of coastal areas.
WBNERR staff wants to know what current programs are most beneficial, what
programs could be enhanced, and whether there are unmet needs the Reserve can
address. </span></font></p>
